A dedicated movie button on top of the camera makes it quick and easy to start recording 1080p HD video.

Today's point-and-shoot cameras make great pictures easier than ever

From baby's first steps, to that dream vacation in the islands, these cameras make it easy to capture life's greatest hits. Today's cameras have helpful automatic features, like face detection and scene recognition that make shooting more foolproof than ever. And they all have plenty of megapixels for detailed photos that stay sharp, even when you enlarge and print them.

Recording Features

Advanced Durable Design: The Panasonic DMC-TS4 is an
extremely versatile camera for the active photographer. It is shockproof,
waterproof, dustproof, and freezeproof, so you can literally take it anywhere.
Provided the care and maintenance guidelines are strictly followed, the camera
should meet the following standards:

Shockproof: The DMC-TS4 is drop-proof from a height of
up to 6.6 feet (2 meters) in accordance with the "MIL-STD 810F Method
516.5-Shock" test standard. In most cases, the camera should not sustain any
damage if dropped from a height not exceeding 6.6 feet.

Waterproof: The camera should perform underwater to a
depth of 40 feet (12 meters) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes, equivalent
to the "IEC60529 IPX8" standard.

Dustproof: The TS4 is dustproof equivalent to the
IEC60529 IP6X standard.

Freezeproof: The camera is resistant to sub-freezing
temperatures down to 14° F (-10° C), allowing you to use the camera while
skiing, snowboarding, or skating.

Global Positioning System (GPS): The TS4 is equipped with a
GPS receiver, which picks up signals from GPS satellites to determine your
position, as well as set the clock. Positioning information can be stored in
still images and motion pictures, such as latitude, longitude, altitude, and the
time the positioning was performed. In addition, the camera can provide the
barometric pressure, compass bearing, and depth indications (when the Beach &
Snorkeling mode is activated during a dive).

Sensors: The camera has a built-in compass, altimeter, and
barometer, and can measure the direction, altitude, and atmospheric pressure.
This data can be recorded and stored in the recorded images.

Recording Media:
The DMC-TS4 records
images and movies onto its internal memory (approximately 20 MB), or on SD Memory Cards, SDHC,
and SDXC cards. The camera is compatible with
SD cards from 8 MB to 2 GB, SDHC
cards from 4 GB to 32 GB, and SDXC cards from 48 GB to 64 GB. Pictures may be
copied between the memory card and the built-in memory, if desired.

LCD Monitor: The DMC-TS4 has a 2.7" TFT color LCD monitor
featuring approximately 230,000 dots. It has approximately 100% field of view.

Lens: This camera is equipped with a Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens. Its
4.9-22.8mm focal length is
equivalent to 28mm to 128mm in 35mm film photography. The focusing distance is
0.98' to infinity (Normal), and as close as 2.56" (Wide) in the Macro mode.

Extended Optical/Digital Zoom: The 28-128mm focal length of
the lens gives it an optical zoom of 4.6x. The camera's
extended optical zoom can increase the zoom up to 9.1x, when the
picture size is 3M or less. In addition, the digital zoom
extends the focal length by another 4x.

Image Sensor: For optimal image quality, the camera uses a
high speed,
1/2.33" CCD image sensor with approximately
12.5-million total pixels and 12.1-million effective pixels. The TS4's Venus
Engine processes a large amount of full HD data at high speed to give you a
super-fast response time.

Image Recording Format:
The camera records still images in JPEG in 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 and 1:1 aspect
ratios. The camera can also record Full HD movies in AVCHD (16:9) and HD and SD movies in
MP4 in 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. You can choose from the following resolutions for still images and
movies:

Optical Image Stabilizer:
Panasonic's Power O.I.S. technology helps solve the problem of unintentional
hand movement that can result in blurry images, particularly with telephoto
shots. Power O.I.S suppresses the low-frequency vibration caused by pressing the
shutter button or when shooting at night with a slow shutter speed. Power O.I.S can be turned on or off
manually, or is set to On in certain shooting modes.

Battery: The TS4 is powered by the DMW-BCF10PP rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery
(3.6 volts/940 mAh). A fully charged battery gives you approximately 155 minutes of
recording time, or about 310 images. Playback time
using the LCD monitor is approximately 300 minutes. The battery takes
approximately 130 minutes to fully charge with the supplied DE-A59B battery
charger.

Optional AC Adapter/DC Coupler: If you wish to operate the
camera using ordinary household current, you will need the optional DMW-AC5PP AC
adapter, along with the DMW-DCC4 DC coupler. The AC adapter cannot
be used alone, as the DC Coupler provides a plug-in jack for the AC adapter. This is helpful if
you have the camera connected to your computer or printer for a long time, or
playing back photos in a slide show.

Flash: The TS4 has a built-in flash with a range of
approximately 0.98' to 18' in Wide Angle, and 0.98' to 10' in Telephoto. Available flash modes
include:

Auto: The flash is automatically activated when the recording
conditions make it necessary.

Auto/Red-eye Reduction: A pre-flash is activated before the main
flash to reduce the red-eye phenomenon.

Forced Flash On: The flash is activated every time regardless of
the recording conditions.

Forced Flash On: The flash is activated every
time, regardless of the recording conditions.

Slow Sync/Red-eye Reduction: Same as Slow Sync, but with
pre-flash to reduce red-eye effect.

Forced Flash Off: Flash is not activated regardless of the
recording conditions.

Shooting Modes: The TS4 allows
you to choose from the following shooting modes:

Intelligent Auto Mode: Optimum settings are made
automatically. The camera identifies the scene and sets one of the
following: i-Portrait, i-Scenery, i-Macro, i-Night Portrait, i-Night Scenery,
iBaby, or i-Sunset.

Program AE: The camera automatically sets the
shutter speed and the aperture value according to the brightness of the
subject.

Manual Exposure: You can determine the exposure by
manually setting the aperture value (F3.3 to F10) and the shutter speed (60
to 1/1300 sec). Manual Exposure Assistance appears on the monitor to
indicate the exposure.

Sports: allows you to
take pictures of a fast moving subject or sports scenes

Snow: brings out the natural color of snow in ski slope
and mountain scenes

Beach & Snorkeling: optimal for taking pictures
underwater and at the beach

3D Photo Mode: Pictures are recorded continuously while you
move the camera horizontally. Two pictures are selected automatically and
combined to make a single 3D picture. To view 3D pictures, you must connect the
camera to a TV that supports 3D.

Self Timer: The self timer is
useful when you want to include yourself in the picture when recording still
images. The delay time for single shots can be set to 10 seconds or 2 seconds.
You can also use the self timer in Burst mode to take 3 pictures after the delay
and in Flash Burst mode to take 5 pictures.

Exposure Compensation: If you
are shooting against a bright background or strong backlight, you may need to
correct the exposure so that the subject doesn't come out too dark. You can set
the adjustments from -2 to +2 in 1/3-step increments.

Burst Modes: Pictures are taken continuously while the
shutter button is pressed. In Normal Burst mode, approximately 3.7 pictures per
second are taken, up to 6 pictures. The Hi-Speed Burst can record up to 100
pictures (2-3 megapixels) at approximately 10 pictures per second. In the Flash
Burst mode, up to five 2-3 megapixel pictures can be recorded continuously, each
with flash.

White Balance: You can choose
from the following white balance modes:

Auto: automatically
adjusts the white balance

Daylight: for recording
outdoors on a bright day

Cloudy: for recording
outdoors under a cloudy sky

Shade: for recording outdoors in the shade

Incandescent: for recording
under incandescent lighting

White Set: sets the white balance manually on a
white object

Note: The White Balance can be finely adjusted toward
red or blue when the preset White Balance does not produce the desired hue.

ISO Sensitivity:
ISO sensitivity represents the sensitivity to light in values. If you set the
ISO sensitivity higher, the camera becomes more suitable for recording in dark
places. In the Intelligent ISO setting,
the camera will automatically set the optimal ISO sensitivity, in a range up to
400, according to the movement of the subject and the surrounding brightness.
Intelligent ISO sets the optimum ISO and shutter speed according to the movement
of the subject and brightness of the scene to minimize the jitter of the
subject.
In the Preset ISO mode, you can select 100, 200, 400, 800, or 1600.

Color Modes: You can use these modes to make your pictures
softer or sharper, or change the colors for a special effect. Some color modes
are only available when shooting in the Intelligent Auto Mode or Normal Picture
Mode. Available color modes include Standard, Happy, Vivid, B/W, and Sepia.

Auto Focus Mode:
You can choose one of the following AF modes:

Face Detection: Camera automatically detects a person's face,
adjusting the exposure and focus to fit the face, regardless of what portion
of the picture it is in. (maximum of 15 areas)

AF Tracking: Focus can be adjusted to a specified subject, and follow
the subject even if it moves.

23-area Focusing: Up to 23 points for each AF area can
be focused. This is effective when the subject isn't in the center of the
screen.

1-area Focusing: Camera
focuses on the subject in AF area on the center of the screen. Position and
size of AF area can be changed.

Spot Focusing: The camera focuses on a limited narrow
area in the screen.

SUPER SHARP PICS-TOP NOTCH VIDEO

Written By Anonymous, CANADA on Friday, November 23, 2012

Super Sharp Images, Video is Excellent, Colour Rendition is Excellent. The lens in this camera is the magic. The lens allows for crystal clear images. If I display the images on a lap top, the images are clear. If I display the images on a Panasonic Viera Plasma TV, the images become super clear. I compared the images to my Nikon D90 50mm 1.8 lens - all images in CUBA - so lush greens, turquois blues - vibrant colors, underwater video; all in all I did not need to use my Nikon Camera.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs

Waterproof wonder

This is one rugged camera, that's for sure. Even though it doesn't weigh that much, the metallic frame feels substantial. I even tapped it in a few places and never heard a hollow sound.

The camera's waterproof, and Panasonic means to keep it that way. The battery chamber has a rubber seal, and two sliding mechanisms. One unlatches the door, the other unlocks it. In the menu, I was prompted to check to make sure the lock was engaged.

There's also an entire section of the menu devoted to underwater photography. Following the checklist ensures the Lumix will remain waterproof for some time to come.
